The movement of matter during convection is what transfers thermal energy.The air or liquid currents help transferring thermal energy through convection as the currents of higher temperature are of less density (lighter) and move upwards while that of less temperature are of higher density (heavier) and move downwards.Convective heat transfer, often referred to simply as convection, is the transfer of heat from one place to another by the movement of fluids (liquids or gases). Convection is usually the dominant form of heat transfer in liquids and gases.
Transfer of thermal energy by the bulk movement of fluid is the heat transfermechanism of convection.
Radiation requires neither contact (through which conduction transfers heat) nor mass flow or movement (through which convection transfers heat). Only radiation can take place in a vacuum. Convection and conduction both require a material medium for the heat transfer to occur. Only radiation can transfer thermal energy through the vacuum of space.
Convection is "the transfer of heat through the motion of molecules in a fluid."

The heat transfer is possible by conduction, convection and radiation.
